This means: GRUB can find the kernel (and the initrd, if used) when the device of the boot partition has changed.
After that, the kernel can mount the root partition (the device of the root partition must not be changed). But it's important that a UUID will be used for the boot partition in /etc/fstab. So we can say in the book: "The search lines are only meaningful if your are using a separate boot partition and a UUID entry for this partition in /etc/fstab." ... or we simply remove this sentence from the book.
